Shrub about 6 ft. tall (tree 10 to 15 ft. tall, fide Kunstler). 
Leaves membranous elliptic-lanceolate to ovate caudate-acuminate, 
base round or cuneate glabrous, 3 to 7 in. long, 1 to 3 in. wide: 
petioles -75 to 2 in. long, slender. Panicle small, terminal few- 
flowered, 6 in. long or less. Calyx-lobes lanceolate acuminate, 
glabrous glandular. Corolla-tube cylindric, slightly dilate at top, 
3 to 3-5 in. long, lobes obovate, blunt, all white (pale yellow,

Cultivated and Excluded Species 
C. fragrans R. Br. Ait. Hort. Kew, ed. 2, iv. 63. Shrub creeping 
and rooting with large soft foetid leaves, and double white 
flowers with a purplish centre very fragrant, cultivated and 
run wild in waste ground, origin Chinese. Native name: 
Rabu Kumbang. 
C. calamitosum Linn. Mant. 90. Slender white-flowered shrub 
from Java. Malacca (Maingay). No doubt a garden plant. 
C. Thomsons Balf, Trans. Bot. Soc. Edinb. vii, 265, t. 7. A well- 
known climbing African species with ovate leaves and lax 
cymes of flowers, red with white calyx very often cultivated, 
but it only fruits on Penang Hill at 2500 ft. altitude. 
C. Balfouri Hort. Resembling this with pink calyx is also 
cultivated 
C. infortunatum Linn. Sp. PI. 637; Gamble, l.c. 835, Singapore 
(Schomburgk). Schomburgk’s collection were mostly of 
garden plants. 
C. Colebrookianum Wolp. Rep. iv. 114; Gamble, l.c. 837, Singa¬ 
pore (Lobb); no doubt a wrong locality for this Indian plant. 
I, however, did find on Gunong Berambun near Telom a shrub 
in fruit which might perhaps be this; almost a tree, leaves 
entire deltoid; calyx in fruit large, lobes acute red.
